“Clearly Forbes editors didn’t want our oversight of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s finances” and that’s the reason his column was “canceled,”Tucker Carlson was also interviewed by Andrzejewski. He is the founder and CEO of OpenTheBooks.com.
According to the journalist, six top executives at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently sent him and a Forbes’ top content officer an email with complaints over his coverage.
“It was couched as a corrections email, but the corrections – there [were] basically no substantial corrections – and they quibbled about small things in my column,”He said.
In spite of all this, the letter became “the excuse that Forbes used to cancel the column.”
He was immediately contacted within 24 hours by Forbes’ editor, who informed him that he had been hired. “barred from publishing on Anthony Fauci any longer,” Andrzejewski said.
A journalist reminded the audience of his stories on White House chief Medical Advisor who were one of most frequently mentioned in US media during Covid-19. “tip of the spear”Forbes has received over a million views.

“So if you take their salaries, tack on the taxpayer-paid cost of federal benefits at 30 percent, the two Faucis, their household income, paid for by taxpayers every year is $900,000,”Andrzejewski stated that he estimated the Fauci family’s net worth at $10.4million.
Forbes spokesperson Bill Hankes, when contacted by The New York Post confirmed that Andrzejewski wasn’t working anymore with the company. “Forbes regularly removes contributors who don’t meet our high editorial standards,” he explained, while pointing out the journalist’s previous columns of Fauci were still available on the magazine’s website.
Andrzejewski was also included in the paper, insisting that “today, if you are an independent voice, outside of the organs of state authority, you are in jeopardy. This is what I have done. My column at Forbes became an example of that.”
